[edit] History
The Republic of China was founded by Kuomintang (KMT)'s leader Dr. Sun Yat-sen in 1912. Kuomintang was originally founded in Guangdong Province on August 25, 1912 from a collection of several revolutionary groups. It was China's first major political party. In 1921, The Communist Party of China (CPC) was founded by Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao in Shanghai as a study society and an informal network. Slowly, the CPC began to grow. There two were the only two major political parties in ROC at that time.
During the Chinese Civil War, under CPC'S leadership, the People's Liberation Army defeated the Kuomintang's National Revolutionary Army in 1949. So Kuomintang had no choice, but to leave mainland China, and moved to Taiwan. However, it continued to use the name Republic of China even though the CPC claimed that Republic of China ceased to exist after 1949.
